Stirring July Topics

By Editor

THE Signs Magazine for July presents some very timely matter. The articles list as follows:—

Elder Spicer tells of the providential agencies now at work for quickly closing the gospel message in this generation, and what it all means. A stirring article.

Elder Potter writes on the kingdom of God, its spirit of kindness; evidences of God's fatherhood; the character of its Creator revealed in nature; Christ as the example of perfect manhood.

Elder Evans, on the world-wide gospel message. The purposes of the telegraph, telephone, railroad, steamship, newspapers, books, and various means of communication and transportation. A genuine Signs of the Times article.

Elder Corliss pictures the great final battle—the war that closes the world's history; why restrained, and when it will come. An important subject well covered.

Brother Bowen presents God's eternal purpose in Christ. The great contest over man's soul. Who is the real Saviour of the world? Who is the mediator? Is there a rival? You ought to read it.

Elder M. C. Wilcox covers the subject of "Drugs and Drug Traffic; Its Increase and Effect on the Nation." A timely article.

Brother Price continues his intensely interesting evolution studies—this time its literary aspect. Clumsy, stupid, and blasphemous, poetic and prose selections contrasted with the treasures of wisdom and knowledge in the Sacred Word. Read it.

Elder Covert presents the subject "Putting On Immortality," answering the questions, Who shall have it? When will it be given? What is the change that takes place?

The editor again writes on the ever-changing, ever-ominous, and ever-vital Eastern Question. Prospects of another uprising. Index fingers are pointing.

Five to forty copies, 5 cents each.

Fifty or more copies, four cents each.

THE COMING

House-Cleaning Day

UNCLE SAM is honest, and one of these days he will fully awake to the fact that the liquor business is one of the most powerful and influential organizations of the world; that it does more damage than any other one organization in the world; that it casts its blight over otherwise happy homes; that it wrecks, and ruins, and annihilates; that it is the enemy of good politics; that it is a disturber of the common peace — is hell on earth to the multitude. When Uncle Sam feels, or sees, the situation, he will begin to "clean house" with a vengeance.

The purpose of the Temperance Instructor is to get Uncle Sam busy on the job.

Missionary Work and Offerings

PROF. G. W. CAVINESS left Washington last week for the Southwest, to oversee the assigning of work to our missionaries temporarily shut out of Mexico. He plans to spend a few days at some of the Western camp meetings while en route to El Paso, on the Mexican border.

THE next occasion for special gifts for missions is the Midsummer Offering, which comes, according to the regular appointment, the first Sabbath in July. Thus this year on July 4 our people will be invited to give for the missionary cause in other lands. A special program for the day is being prepared by the General Conference, and will be sent to church elders and conference laborers.

THIS week two new recruits for India are sailing from New York, accompanying Elder and Mrs. James. They are Brother Ernest E. and Mrs. Morrow, of Southern California. That conference releases them from evangelistic work in order that they may respond to the calls for help among the Tamil and Telegu and other peoples in South India. We rejoice that the India Mission is to receive these additional workers.

THIS week Elder J. S. and Mrs. James are sailing from New York on their return to South India, having spent most of the time since the General Conference in California, where they have arranged to leave their two boys to attend school at the Pacific Union College when their preparatory work is completed. These workers return after their furlough, refreshed and strengthened for the years of service which we trust lie before them among the millions of South India.

FRIDAY, May 29, witnessed one of the greatest ocean disasters in history, with the exception, perhaps, of the sinking of the "Titanic." The Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Ireland" was rammed by the coal ship "Storstad" of Norway, and sank in fourteen minutes. The "Empress" carried 1,367 passengers and crew. Of these, 964 were drowned. Two ships responded to the wireless signal of distress, and as a result of their efforts, together with the work done by the crew of the "Storstad," several hundred were saved. A board of inquiry is trying to fix the responsibility for the collision. This is only one of the many disasters of this character which are increasing from year to year.

THE closing exercises of the Foreign Mission Seminary were held in the Takoma Park church, Sunday evening, May 24. A class of eight was graduated — two from the Biblical course, three from the academic, and three from the nurses' postgraduate course. Prof. M. E. Kern gave the graduating address, in which the principles of true Christian education were ably set forth. These exercises mark the close of the Foreign Mission Seminary as an institution by this name. The next school year will witness the opening of the Washington Missionary College. This will not only do the work which has been done by the Foreign Mission Seminary, but will also do full college work. Professor Kern will devote his energies from this time forth to the Missionary Volunteer Department, of which he is the secretary. He has borne a double burden during the last two or three years in connection with the work of his department and the work of the school. A splendid work has been done in the preparation given young men and women for a part in this closing work.

The King's Business

By C. M. S.

For many years we have seen and recorded scattered evidences of the fact that the forces of oppression which are finally to pit themselves against the keepers of God's law were really being gathered under definite leadership, and that a program was being mapped out for their operation. Today we see these evidences on every hand, the leadership more marked, the program more definite, and the numbers of these forces increased by the millions.

The national government has, through divine providence, refused hitherto to yield to the clamorings and insistent demands of these elements for religious legislation. Now, however, the organizations demanding these laws have become so numerous, counting their adherents by the millions, and threatening to use their political power against legislators who refuse to pass the laws they demand, that Congressmen are beginning to feel that their political lives hang upon their attitude toward these demands for religious legislation. We have entered upon what is really a new phase of the situation. Religion, in the name of the Federal Council of the Churches, in the name of individual denominations, in the name of W. C. T. U.'s, Y. W. C. T. U.'s, Y. M. C. A.'s, Y. W. C. A.'s, the Christian Endeavor Societies, and other like organizations, the National Reform Association, the International Reform Bureau, and the Lord's Day Alliance, is bringing the strongest possible pressure to bear upon legislators in the effort to secure the religious legislation they demand. How long will legislators hold out against the demands of organized religion, when they feel that their political future is at stake?

Not all Christians are in that movement. Very few of those who are realize what the movement means, and none of them believe that the result will be what the Word of God plainly tells us that it will be. In view of this fact, what is our duty as individual Seventh-day Adventists? We ought to put religious liberty literature into the hands of every professed Christian in the country. Have you told your next-door neighbors what these things mean? Have you given them a copy of the current issue of the magazine Liberty? In that issue the warning against the demands and against the course of these organizations is faithfully given. It is one of the most important numbers of that journal that has ever been issued. The truth in reference to these matters is so plainly and forcefully told therein that he who reads that number can never say he has not been warned. Send for a supply of the current number of Liberty to distribute among your friends and neighbors. This is the King's business, and the King's business demands haste. On page 2 of this number of the REVIEW will be found prices and terms, and a cut of the front and the back cover of the journal. Specify the Pilgrim Fathers number. C. M. S.

Printers Working Double Shift

By E. R. Palmer, Manager.

THESE are busy days at the Review and Herald Office. Our employees, while not enjoying the privilege of distributing very much literature from house to house, are nevertheless working most earnestly to turn out promptly and efficiently what is called for by the workers in the field. For several months it has been necessary to employ a double shift in our pressroom. Four of the cylinder presses are running daily from 5:30 A. M. to 10:30 P. M. The work in the pressroom is now equal to nine cylinder presses working eight hours a day. All these presses are turning out our own literature only.

All departments of the work are prospering, but the demand for magazines is especially heavy. We have already sold 325,000 copies of the Temperance Instructor, 60,000 copies more than were sold all last year. This number meets with special favor, and promises a great sale before the year's work is done.

During the past six months we have sold 238,000 copies of the Protestant Magazine, or 36,000 copies more than were sold all last year. Sixteen carloads of paper, a total of 304 tons, have been used during the past nine months, and five carloads, about 88 tons, have been ordered for delivery before August 1. This does not include the many tons of paper ordered in less than carload lots. All are working together to the utmost of their ability to supply the needs of a rapidly growing work, and daily, in our office departments, we remember in our prayers the workers in the field.

E. R. Palmer, Manager.
